Classification
S9, SB8, SM9 (IPC, 19 Jan 2021)

Type of Impairment
Limb deficiency (disability.qld.gov.au, 30 Dec 2009)

Origin of Impairment
Acquired (disability.qld.gov.au, 30 Dec 2009)

Impairment Details
His right leg was amputated at age six due to complications arising from chicken pox. The illness also caused him to lose 70% of his hearing. "They gave my parents two options, really. They said, 'We can try to thin the clot but it's going to be risking his life or, we can amputate his leg through the knee and he'll live a happy, normal life as he is'. Thankfully mum and dad made the right decision. The water's sort of my safe place. I just wanted to get in there and float and feel the water around me after I was released from the hospital. For some reason, once I did that, I felt calm. I felt normal. I felt as though nothing had changed. It's where I felt most at home and comfortable with myself." (belgravialeisure.com.au, 24 Jun 2019; disability.qld.gov.au, 30 Dec 2009)

FURTHER EDUCATION
